Even though the Jacksonville Jaguars compiled a 10-6 record during the regular season and ultimately won the AFC South division, the organization probably isn’t still fully sold on the future of quarterback Blake Bortles with the franchise and especially when you look at his third down passing numbers from this year.
While Bortles led the NFL in third down pass attempts this season, his 67.7 passer rating was the fourth-lowest of all quarterbacks who attempted at least 50 pass attempts on that down. Perhaps Bortles’ saving grace when it comes to his overall third down passing stats is the fact that he somehow managed to convert 35% of his throws into first downs.
